Palliative management of malignant duodenocolic fistula: Case report on endoscopic duodenal stent placement and its clinical implications.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceMalignant duodenocolic fistulas are a rare but serious complication of advanced colorectal cancer. With the growing elderly population and increasing incidence of advanced colorectal cancer, there is a pressing need to explore palliative alternatives to complete resection, especially when a patient's overall health precludes extensive surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report presents a palliative approach involving luminal stent placement via gastroscopy in a patient with non-resectable, locally invasive colorectal cancer, resulting in a malignant duodenocolic fistula. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: We discuss different palliative treatment strategies against malignant duodenocolic fistulas, including endoscopic luminal stent placement and specific technical aspects of this procedure, highlighting factors that may contribute to a successful clinical outcome.
conclusionEndoscopic stent placement can represent a minimally invasive palliative strategy to provide symptom relief in a patient with advanced colorectal cancer. Treatment strategy should be considered on a individual basis and in close consultation with the patient.
